G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

Evidently, this letter was intended primarily to correct certain mistakes which the Thessalonians were making concerning the Second Advent. They were failing to distinguish between the two phases, the Day of the Lord and the coming of the Lord. In his introduction the apostle again referred to their faith and their love, but not to their hope. The peculiar peril now threatening them was to be found in this matter. The apostle proceeded to deal with "the revelation of the Lord Jesus." He is to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 1:9

‘Who will suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might.’ This is their greatest punishment, that they will not see His face or observe and experience His powerful glory. That they will be separated from Him and what He is for ever. Those who deliberately ‘knew not God’ will now for ever not know Him. The word for destruction is not that which means final destruction (apoleia - in contrast with ‘life’ - Matthew 7:13; ‘vessels fitted for... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Thessalonians 1:9

This is the vengeance before spoken of; it is here called destruction, not an annihilation, and cessation of being, but of all well-being: and elsewhere called death, Romans 6:23, and the second death, Revelation 20:6, which imports also not all ceasing of life, but all comfort of life. And it is not the body alone, nor the soul alone, but their persons, who, & c.; and as fire is a great destroyer, so Christ’s coming in flaming fire brings their destruction. And this destruction is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES2 Thessalonians 1:8. In flaming fire.—Lit. “in a fire of flame.” “Fire is a symbol of divine anger and majesty in Scripture; and flame is fire in motion, leaping and blazing out” (Findlay). Taking vengeance on them that know not God.—St. Paul does not consider ignorance as a valid excuse where knowledge might be had, any more than a man would be looked on as innocent who should plead that, being a foreigner, he did not know that the law of any country which he... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12

2 Thessalonians 1:7-12 The rest awaiting Christ's troubled saints is in the fullest sense to be their possession at the revelation of the Lord Jesus. He who is emphatically the coming One is to be revealed. There is a vividness in the word. He is now hidden. But when He comes again, every eye shall see Him. I. The term "everlasting" qualifying "destruction," as it here does, shows that this destruction is not extinction of being. It is not loss of being, but loss of wellbeing: for as its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

Paul had come to Thessalonica with the gospel of Jesus Christ from Philippi where, as the result of his preaching, he had been imprisoned, beaten and really ordered out of the city. There in Thessalonica, he went into the synagogue for three Sabbath days reasoning with them out of the scriptures. And the interest became so intense that on the third day, almost the whole city had gathered together, which created a jealousy by some of the Jews that were there.And so they began to stir up trouble... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

2 Thessalonians 1:1-2 . Paul, and Silvanus, [the Roman name of Silas] and Timotheus, to the church of the Thessalonians, in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The inscription is the same as in the first epistle. This was a very numerous and flourishing church, raised out of the dust in presence of their enemies. Those saints are not called the church of God, but the church in God, and in Jesus Christ, encircled in his bosom and shielded by his arm. The call and conversion of... read more
